Better get HD 7750 inplace if 550ti.
It has very low power consumption and with AMD 11 drivers it beats 550ti.
And if you are getting HD 7750 get Gigabyte version it's factory overclocked to 880mhz and will cost you around 6,500.

Nov 9, 2012 at 6:23 PM
i3 - Rs 4500??? Where!!!!
500GB - Rs 2100 Where???!!!!

Get NZXT Gamma - Rs 2600

Nov 9, 2012 at 6:26 PM
For the cabinet, you can get the NZXT Source 210 Elite OR NZXT Gamma. Both are nice but you will get a front USB 3.0 with the Source 210 Elite Pre-Installed.

Pretty much depends on looks too, if you like it simple and functional, go for Source but if you want a warrior looking chassis, the net Gamma, both are about the same.

Nov 9, 2012 at 6:39 PM
Then please make me new rig with either hd 7750 or gtx 550ti...
Compromise whichever component possible like keyboard mouse and anything...help me fast pls.

Thankyou. But i founf nzxt gamma better in looks.

I can compromise my monitor to 20"
And mouse keyboard you can suggest good and cheaper ones.

Thankyou.
The Incinerator
Nov 9, 2012 at 6:39 PM
i3 and 7750 is already suggested read the posts carefully and will cost you Rs 38000 and no less. A 20 inch monitor will bring down the cost by a mere Rs 1500 max and aint worth it.Rather get a 500GB HDD for now at Rs 3400 and keep the monitor.

''x'' GB ram is often referred as a "x" GB stick(simply because it looks like one). You can add a 4gb stick later implies you can add additional 4 gb ram to your system later on, if you feel there is a need to do so.

Nov 9, 2012 at 8:11 PM
The net shows hd 7770 is for 10k? And you say its for 8200?

I can do it for 8200..if its for that....
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 9, 2012 at 8:13 PM
It was available here for 8.2k since the last month - Graphic cards

Now its out of stock since the last 2 days or so. Just call them up and ask when will it be available. Should get back in stock within a week or two. Better confirm it by calling.

Many users here on thinkdigit have bought the 7770 from that site @ 8.2k.
T
Nov 9, 2012 at 8:18 PM
No i am going to buy my pc tommorow...is 7750 ok? Will it run fifa 13 , mw3 , black ops 2 , etc game at good resoultion without lag?

And i just noticed that the rig you provided did not have cabby...in this case i have to minimize the budget pf gpu to hd7750@ 6500 i guess
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 9, 2012 at 8:21 PM
Yes I forgot the cabinet. I ll edit that post... wait.


Done.


The 7750 should run all modern games easily @1600*900,medium settings.
T
Nov 9, 2012 at 8:30 PM
And pls remove 7770 and put 7750. Thsnkyou

Yea..thankyou dude....
The hd 7750 you mentioned is of which brand? Gigabyte? Or powercolor?

And will it able to run games like fifa 13 , mw3 , black ops 2 , skyrim , etc?
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 9, 2012 at 8:32 PM
Get the one which has better cooling or the one with higher core clock speed ... If these aspects are pretty much the same, just get the giigabyte variant.

I mentioned it should easily run "all modern games" @1600x900,medium settings... including the ones u mentioned :)

Thanks a lot ... You were really helpfull....i will be buying the desktop with this rig...you weree really helpful...
Thanks alot dude. :)

Cn you adhvice a cabinet with led fans and if possible a bit cheaper than nzxt gamma?

Like fans which look attaractive :D
If you know what i mean.
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 9, 2012 at 8:45 PM
You wont get a cabinet with in built LED fans at your budget. But you can always add LED fans to you cabinet for just 500 bucks.
If you want your cabinet to look more fancy, get a CM 310 with side window (transparent glass pane on one side) at 2.5k and add a blue LED ~ 500. But its hard to find one of those cases.
If you want better case, get the NZXT gamma and add an LED fan if you want.

Nov 9, 2012 at 8:48 PM
Thankyou..now i got to go...
Will foloow your rig...thanks a lot
And i mean it.

Get Gigabyte version of HD 7750 its facotry OC'd and have large fan for better cooling.
T
Nov 10, 2012 at 5:02 PM
Okay.
Gigabyte hd7750...this what i will say to the shopkeeper.

Or i should say like with factor oc'd?

Cn you guys just tell me that is amd radoen hd 7750 better than this or nt? If yes then whats the difference in its price ...!??

Guys what if i change my rig's i3 to i5 and 500gb to 1tb?
Will i have to make any change in my motherboard or any other compoment?
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 10, 2012 at 5:14 PM
you are confused. AMD/nvidia makes the cards. Gigabyte,asus,msi,etc are distributors of those cards after doing the necessary mod.

Okay.
Guys what if i change my rig's i3 to i5 and 500gb to 1tb?
Will i have to make any change in my motherboard or any other compoment?

No problems. you ll just have to invest more money.


Ask the shopkeeper for "a factory OCd version of Gigabyte 7750"
T
Nov 10, 2012 at 5:40 PM
Whats the difference?
Is the differnece money wise too?
If yes , then for how much would i get that?

Moreover i cant find gigabyte hd7750 for 6.6k anywhere :/

Its like for 7.5k. ://

*reply*
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 10, 2012 at 5:54 PM
Here is the Gigabyte OCd version for 7k -
GIGABYTE GV-R775OC-1GI

Your current cpu - i3 2120 costs ~ 7k and lets say if u buy i5 2310 instead - it ll cost you 3k more.
A 1 tb HD would cost 700 bucks more than a similar 500 GB HD.

So you ll need 3.7 k more for your planned upgrades - (i3 to i5 & 500gb to 1tb)
T
Nov 10, 2012 at 6:40 PM
Okay. Now just tell me that whats ocd version? And hows that different?

And i5 2310 , flipkart says it for 11k. :/

Nov 10, 2012 at 6:40 PM
Flipkart is overpriced. Any local dealer would give it to u for ~10.2k.
Delta is sellin it for 10.5 k -
Intel Core i5 2310 Processor 2.9GHz - www.deltapage.com


OCing is like adding nitrous to a car. It will get u ~5-10 % improvement in performance depending on how much u OC.

Factory OC means its a pre OCd card... You can OC it further if you want.
T
Nov 10, 2012 at 6:42 PM
Okay. So what should i say to the dealer? Gve me hd 7750 with oc?
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 10, 2012 at 6:48 PM
Go to the shop and tell your dealer to get this -
GIGABYTE GV-R775OC-1GI

i.e GIGABYTE 7750 OCd version with core clock= 880mhz.

Or just buy it yourself from that site.

Nov 10, 2012 at 6:54 PM
Okay.

So my final rig. (if can pls try to make it a bit cheap )

Corsair 4 gb 1333(VS) and corsair value select 4gb are one and the same.
I suggest Creative SBS A335 2.1 (~1.7k) instead of HP.

Get Lenovo M6811 USB 2.0 Mouse | Mouse | Flipkart.com

locally for ~1.15k instead of g100 combo for budget gaming.
T
Nov 10, 2012 at 7:18 PM
Keyboard?

NO, letsmnot make change to the combo..
Any other pls. :'(

Nov 10, 2012 at 7:21 PM
No. Maybe (if my dad agrees) i will buy it seperately ...the one you just told me . :)
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 10, 2012 at 7:27 PM
Logitech K200 Media USB 2.0 Keyboard | Keyboard | Flipkart.com
(not suitable if u play fifa)
and
lenovo mouse
cost ~ 1.1k
Could save you ~ 500 bucks.

You cannot compromise on other core components .... They re far more impt than Mouse/keyboard & speakers.

Nov 10, 2012 at 7:28 PM
Dude. Actually i am in love with g100mouse ... Cn think to switch to k200 but can tthink of changing mouse :/
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 10, 2012 at 7:32 PM
So no point in buying the mouse alone .... get the combo ....
So all u can save is 500 bucks by chnging ur speakers to Creative SBS A335 ... And if u want to save more - get the F & D F203g 2.1 for 1.1k ... They re as good as the creative ones .... the a335 are a bit better ..... I have the F & D and my brother uses A335 ... :)

Get whatever suits you. I'd personally go for the ASUS one. But the LG one aint bad either. So, the choice is completely yours.
T
Nov 15, 2012 at 12:22 AM
How does it matter!
I mean whats the difference?

Asus has less buffer memory...
Thetrueblueviking
Nov 15, 2012 at 12:23 AM
Theoretically both drives should read and write at the same speed. But if you were to look for reliability, I d pick ASUS.

I am not really knowledgeable to explain you the exact difference between the two.

But I think more buffer memory is better. I really don't think people look out for buffer memory while buying optical drives. What matters most is read/write speeds. I could be wrong here.
T
Nov 15, 2012 at 12:25 AM

Nov 19, 2012 at 6:20 PM
ya, cyclosa is little better, but cost is also 1000 bucks higher.
The Incinerator
Nov 19, 2012 at 6:30 PM
I would settle with the G100. The failure rate of the Cyclosa is very high,though feature rich than the G100. I had bought one too and my mouse died within 7 months and the keyboards spacebar had problems,though working. Thus I went Googling and found out I wasnt the only one! If you can afford mid end, lower mid end then go for the Razer,Razers entry level stuff is plain bad. And the Cyclosa bundles ...Abyssus mouse is an 1800dpi and not higher as mentioned in some sites,wrongly.I love Razer as a company and am using their speakers the Razer Mako but somehow the Cyclosa bundle caught me in the wrong foot!
T
Nov 19, 2012 at 9:29 PM
Okay then shud go eith g100 or is there any good combo int this range like till 2.5k ...i need a bit fancy sort of too..
I dont like steelseries so pls dont suggest that.
Thankyou.
The Incinerator
Nov 20, 2012 at 12:23 AM
You will be fine with Logitech. For gaming its always better to buy a good gaming mouse first when you have a tight budget and then look for a gaming keyboard (if you actually use customized buttons). A good gaming mouse is a way better investment than a combo where you cant have the best of both worlds. Get a Logitech G400 mouse for Rs 1600 and a cheap keyboard for now and then get a better keyboard later,if at all.A fast mouse is more important than a programmable keyboard,when its gaming.
rohit32407
Nov 20, 2012 at 2:13 AM
^^+1 to that. Mouse is much more important unless you are into MMORPGs and use alot of customised keys and even in that genre of games a good mouse will go a long way. A good mouse will be a much better investment than compromising both on quality of mouse and keyboard. Get a g400 for now and a cheap keyboard as Incinerator has suggested. If later on you feel the need get a gaming keyboard as well but if you are tight on budget then concentrate on getting a good gaming mouse like g400 first.
rohit32407
Nov 20, 2012 at 8:39 AM
^^Well for FIFA fans they should save money on keyboard and rather invest that money on a xbox 360 controller IMO
T
Nov 20, 2012 at 11:38 AM
Actually g400is outa my budget..
I do occasional gaming...i am not a pro gamer...but i know gaming well and i am a fifa fan too and eill be playing that too.
So g100 is best in my budget i think?

You can Save some money by going with a Cooler Master Elite 310 or 344 . Then you can think abt having a HD 7770 .

I found elite 344 better as it also have usb 3.0 ...
It is just Around 800 bucks cheaper and hd 7770 is around 2 k expensive than hd 7750 oc version.
And now maybe i will look towards getting elite 344 in replacement eith 430

Anyways is there a chassis in the same range with coloured led fan and looks cool sort of .. Shud also be compatible with my rig.

I am looking forward to take elite 344 and adding a led fan to it...suggest is it a good choice than elite 430 or not?
I dound it better as its less expensive as well as has 1 usb 3.0 port...
Suggest acccordingly.

get a 7770 + 500GB...rest looks fine for 35K budget.
MSI GRAPHICS CARD R7770-PMD1GD5

7770 vs 550ti..
AnandTech - Bench - GPU12

just dont run something like starcraft II :p


why ? whats wrong with starcraft 2 ? HD 7770 can own starcraft 2 at max settings.. 60 + fps at 1600x900 even in battle heavy scenes

try getting this Elite 431 Plus - Cooler Master

why ? whats wrong with starcraft 2 ? HD 7770 can own starcraft 2 at max settings.. 60 + fps at 1600x900 even in battle heavy scenes

the problem lies with the CPU :p

with the small cache size it will suffer...

For a cabinet with atleast 1usb3.0,nzxt source 210 elite and CM elite 311PLUS are some of the options around that price.
I don't think nzxt cabinets are available in delhi.CM elite 311PLUS costs around 2.7k.

What about getting a elite 344 for 2k and adding a led fan to it for 500 bucks?
Is it a good choice?
And will my psu,gpu,hdd, and other stuff fir into it nicely?

The site says the removing the hdd cage can accomodate long gpu's in the elite 344, but my question is where will the hdd's fit in then ?

A 120mm front fan is already installed. There is no further scope of installing another 120mm.
The rear supports a max of 90mm.

You are better off with what vkl suggested.

But we dont have a front led fan in 311 plus and its For 3.3k on flipkart...

Whatever, just tell me would elite 344 will able to install one led fan in front and will all my components be comfortable in that cabinet?
Thankyou.

I think elite 311plus comes with a front led fan.It is priced higher at flipkart,local prices would be lot lower.
CM elite 344 is a compact and small case,suitable when one is constrained by the space where he has to place the cabinet.Air-flow won't be that good.
HD7770 would fit into elite344 without needing to remove the removable hdd cage.May be a CM tx3 can fit in the case.
Elite 311plus is a better choice overall.

@Myth
In elite 344 the lower removable hdd cage needs to be removed in order to fit a longer card similar to CM elite 343,one can fit the hdd in a 3.5" bay present in the case.

Buy one and replace the stock front fan with it.

If you are getting a 'non k' i5 (multiplier locked CPU)then use the same mobo but if you buy a 2500k or 3570k you need to get a z77 based mobo to OC
You can use any Hard Disk without making a change to your config
Ask the shop owner for Gigabyte HD 7750 If unavailable buy any HD 7750 in your budget and OC it as and when required
If you are interested there is a HD 7770 at 8.2k here POWERCOLOR GRAPHIC CARD HD7770 1GB GDDR5 128BIT

Create a new thread, this opne is getting really confusing and most of the people is thinking why you haven't bought the system after couple of months and 5 pages of discussion. I am closing it now.
